My modem works in Windows, but not in Linux. How do I fix this?

A:The chances are that you have a winmodem. Winmodems are less expensive to make and rely on software to do what higher quality modems have hardware do. There is limited Linux support for them at linmodems.org. They don't work as well as better modems, even in Windows, and it is recommended that you purchase a better modem. A quick aside on this... if your machine has a winmodem, the chances are that it is running a program called ptsnoop.

Web Hosting Universe -hosting FAQ host frequently asked ques...
Which operating system you decide to use should depend on what features you need. For example, if you are already using IIS, ASP, VBScript, Windows Media, Microsoft Access, Microsoft SQL Server, or Visual InterDev, and you don't have the time to learn Unix-based solutions, you'll have to choose a Windows NT or Windows 2000-based host. Just because your desktop is Windows-based doesn't mean you should use a Windows host.

Will all my Windows programs work with Linux?

SpinnNet Linux FAQ
The short answer is no. Since Linux is a different operating system than Windows, it does things differently and that means that Windows programs such as Outlook Express, MS Word, etc, will not work. The good news is that there are almost always Linux programs that do the same thing as the Windows programs you know and love. Or, if you're like me, the Windows programs you know. The even better news is that these programs are usually free. Free as in $0 dollars.

Can I have both Windows and Linux on my computer?

Linux Online - Frequently Asked Questions: General Queries
If you're going to have this kind of a system, it's important that you install the Windows operating system first in the first partition of your hard disk. You can then install Linux and along with it a program known as a bootloader (nowadays, the most popular are LILO and GRUB) which allows you to choose your operating system. The Linux installation process, in most circumstances, leaves your Windows partition alone during the install.

Why will Windows not detect my modem?

FAQs
Windows will not automatically detect the modem because of the method it uses in detecting modems. Windows detects modems by sending a signal to all the physical COM ports on your system to identify if there is a UART chip. If Windows does not detect an UART chip it will not identify the modem. HSP modems do not use UART chips, but instead allow the main processor to handle all the data compression and transmission tasks.

Can Linux co-exist with Windows?

Desktop Linux At Home - Frequently Asked Qustions
Yes, it is a common practice to install Linux alongside Windows, but it will require you to re-partition your harddrive. I personally prefer getting a second harddrive as they are so low cost these days and it allows you to avoid the fear of accidentally messing up your Windows partition. Sometimes after you've completed installation, you may notice that the screen resolution is not optimal or some piece of hardware was not detected and isn't working.
